I would have thought they would have taken the stolen merchandise away from her.

I would have thought they would have taken the stolen merchandise away from her. I was thinking the same thing.

Her shyster lawyer Geragos must be on crack. She can't legally auction what isn't hers.

she could dispose of the merchandise by holding a charity auction
She would get all her court fees back in the form of a tax write-off.

Any winning bidder for known stolen merchandise could be prosecuted for receiving stolen goods.

Didn't know you got to keep what you steal either. With lawyer/court costs what they are and the cost of the clothes (assume this is restitution), the fines were only $4500 over the amount of the clothes.
amazing, it must be good to be a Hollywood queen

It appears the reasoning is that if she pays the fine and does the time, then she's "bought" the clothes. Pretty faulty logic.
I'd have tried to recover the goods, if I were the store.

If this is accurate
Ryder, sentenced on December 6, 2002 for shoplifting from Saks Fifth Avenue, had to pay $10,000 in fines and restitution and became owner of the property.
Then she owns the clothes. What's the judges problem ?

"Ryder, sentenced on December 6, 2002 for shoplifting from Saks Fifth Avenue, had to pay $10,000 in fines and restitution and became owner of the property."
Looks like she had to pay for it (the "restitution" part of the 10 grand).

BTW...in response to you're last mail....Boo! Back. Hope you and Slip are doing fine.

I don't think the same rules apply to everyone else. I've never heard of anyone getting to keep stolen merchandise, even if they pay restitution.

What's her problem? She doesn't want to face the evidence of her guilt everyday? Or maybe her ill-gotten gains aren't considered today's style, hmn?

Yup! Miss Slippy's fine and dandy!

Oh give me a break. Judge Fox praises her for completing her court ordered community service. Another pampered celebrity,I'm suprised they didn't give her a ticker tape parade. And the Clinton's lawyer of choice,Geragos, wants to hole an auction for the filched merchandise. Only in La,La land could this be happening.
